Abstract: 20,056. Pruce, H. C. Sept. 17. Stays. - Relates to telescopic casement and similar stays such as are described in Specifications No. 13,958, A.D, 1893, and No. 22,712, A.D. 1897. A rod or tube b is pivoted at one end to a plate h fixed to the swinging frame of the casement, and slides within a tubular member a, which is screwed, brazed, or otherwise fixed to a pummel e swivelly connected to an attachment plate e<1> secured to the fixed frame of the casement. The members a, b may be of circular or rectangular cross-section.

Patent GB-190503196-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Controllers for Electric Motors.
Inventor: THOMAS STEEL PERKINS
Filed: 1905-02-15
Abstract: 3196. Perltins, T. S. March 7, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1904.] Switches.-In controlling motors, particularly motors in which the speed is controlled by varying the impressed electromotive force, a resistance is automatically introduced into the circuit at each change of the controller, or when the motor acts temporarily as a generator, the time that the resistance remains in the circuit being determined by a dash-pot or like retarding-means fitted in the controller. Fig. 5 shows a general arrangement of controller and connexions for supplying a motor 37 with variable voltage from a three-wire generator 47. A re - sistance 49 is connected in the armature circuit, but is normally short-circuited by a contact-finger 35 engaging a contact 36 on the drum. This contact is disengaged when the controller changes its position. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, this is done by a cam device. The contact 35 is carried by an arm pivoted at 9, and is normally held on by a spring 11. The controller shaft 4 is fitted with a cam b having projections 6, 7, which are adapted to engage a roller on the contact-carrier 14 and force back the contact 35 when the controller is in the ' off ' position and in transition between higher- and lower-voltage positions. A retarding dash-pot prevents the return of the contact too quickly, and is connected to the contact-carrier 14 by the links 17, 16, 15, 8. The preferred form of dash-pot, shown in Figs. 3 and 4, consists of a vessel having three chambers 20, 21, 22, a piston 23<a>, a valve 26, and restricted passages 27, 28. The dash-pot is filled with liquid.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Pirn Winding Machines.
Inventor: LANCASTER WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-09-06
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 18,035. Lancaster, W. Sept. 6. Winding-machines.-The yarn passes to the pirn, cop, or spool over oscillating arms which eliminate variations in speed due to winding on the cone, and glazing is avoided by a special construction of the cones bearing against the nose of the pirn &c. The pins a, Fig. 4, carrying the cones are formed with a spherical base b gripped in a spherical socket c, or the base may be cup-shaped and bear on a spherical support, and the cones may be formed in sections d with convex adjacent surfaces d<1> to reduce the friction and consequent glazing effects. Cops &c. of different lengths may be produced by providing the spindle with an adjustable hoop or collar which may be a coiled spring gripping the spindle. The collar is adjusted to the tube employed, and rests on the pressing-cones at the commencement, the winding being arrested in the usual manner by the spindle escaping from the wharl. The yarn is laid and pressed on the spindle by a hook or eye ended lever g, Fig. 2, freely suspended from an arm, which is oscillated from a heart-shaped cam in the middle of the machine. A uniform tension is maintained on the yarn passing from the hank to the guide g by a pair of arms p, q, instead of a single arm as described in Specification No. 1517, A.D. 1857, fixed on a rod which is oscillated in unison with the guide g by connexions n, l from an eccentric m or otherwise. Long rods carried by the end pairs of arms may replace the intermediate arms. In some cases, the oscillating movement may be imparted to the delivery hanks.

Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 6977. Fennell, W. March 23. Turbines.-The energy of a gas uader pressure is imparted to plugs of fluid, preferably water, which are caused to act upon a suitable rotatable member. The Figure shows an application of the invention for converting the energy of exploded gases. Explosive mixture is drawn in past a valve 15 and compressed by a piston 10 into a chamber 13, where it is exploded by a plug 14 or by other suitable means. It ejects a plug of water 18 contained in a feeder 17 into an expansion pipe 23 leading to a Pelton wheel 1. The pipe 23 is preferably of such length that on reaching the end the gas has expanded down to about atmospheric pressure, its energy having been imparted to the water plugs. The gas may also do work on the wheel. The compressing-piston 10 is reciprocated by a crank-disk 9 on an axle 6 driven by a belt 8 from the engine shaft. The feeder 17 is reciprocated synchronously by a link 21, crank-disk 19, and connecting-rod 20. It is charged at the upper end of its stroke by a water pipe 26 supplied by a centrifugal pump 27 which receives water from the base 29 of the turbine, and from an independent source. The waste or overflow pipe 30 discharges into the turbine casing. An outlet 31 is provided for the exhaust gases. The plugs may be of semisolid or powdered materials.
